Information
Please join us for Benjamin Pedersen's farewell lecture at DIA. Benjamin has been Carlsberg Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for the past couple of years on a project which aims to re-evaluate historical writing in the Hellenistic period through the lens of the intellectual achievements of Aristotle and his followers (Philosophizing History: The Impact of Aristotelian Thought on Hellenistic Historiography). In this lecture, Benjamin shares some of his research and results with us. More information closer to the date.
On the picture we see Scipio Aemilianus og Polybios at Carthage as imagined by Jacob Buys, 1797.
